A society that does not believe in objective truth can only validate its "principles" by how strongly they feel about something. Thus "I'm offended" is a criticism only if one holds to the same flimsy notion of what truth is. <br /><br />As the video author says, if you are offended, that's your problem. &nbsp;If you have something constructive to say, do so.CatholicGuyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09129339825000536287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3892857592788649371.post-50467949752066775792013-04-01T13:04:00.001-07:002013-04-01T13:04:17.763-07:00IGNITUM TODAYI forgot to link here but here is <a href="http://www.ignitumtoday.com/2013/03/29/the-truth-problem/">my latest for IGNITUM TODAY</a>.CatholicGuyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09129339825000536287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3892857592788649371.post-75306504099465533222013-04-01T12:59:00.000-07:002013-04-01T12:59:01.817-07:00Need to read for the day<a href="http://yardsaleofthemind.wordpress.com/2013/03/21/the-higher-education-mish-mash/">The Higher Education Mish-Mash</a>.<br />H/T Mark Shea and Mike FlynnCatholicGuyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09129339825000536287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3892857592788649371.post-91507633351509819792013-03-28T15:14:00.000-07:002013-03-28T15:14:21.403-07:00I can't tell if they are making this up..but it is funny...<br /><br />Naughty language warning<br /><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5dKxOqUhxkA" width="560"></iframe>CatholicGuyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09129339825000536287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3892857592788649371.post-79963555505742435162013-03-18T10:29:00.001-07:002013-03-18T10:29:13.406-07:00Terraria UpdatePart 8:<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZxzlzA6vYyk" width="560"></iframe><br />Part 9:<br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Rg2bHrsSfms" width="560"></iframe><br />Part 10:<br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/B1SWN8_G-kQ" width="560"></iframe><br />Part 11:<br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gCJ-51-EDtE" width="560"></iframe><br />Part 12:<br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/61ZnrZb38-I" width="560"></iframe><br />Part 13:<br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WSMuYwVBehc" width="560"></iframe><br />CatholicGuyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09129339825000536287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3892857592788649371.post-14875895964124070032013-03-18T09:24:00.001-07:002013-03-18T09:24:13.280-07:00Where have you been?So you have probably noticed that I have not posted for some time here on this blog. &nbsp;I do apologize&nbsp;especially&nbsp;to those on my Twitter feed who have since stopped following me. &nbsp;Sadness. &nbsp;But a number of things have kept me away, and I wanted to let you in now that I have some time.<br /><br />First, my Lenten promise to give up video games has sort of back fired on me. &nbsp;Initially my hope was to cut out the time spent on video games to pursue other projects. &nbsp;Like this blog for example. &nbsp;Instead I've found myself sapped of energy save for making Youtube videos of game playthroughs with my siblings. &nbsp;This requires very little work most days. &nbsp;Other than that I'm beat physically and emotionally.<br /><br />Second, this is the busy time at work. &nbsp;My weeks are really unpredictable these days and I can't plan out my day like I used to because every day brings a surprise. &nbsp;I'm also spearheading a project at work that is taking a lot of time. &nbsp;This has left me with little energy and less focus (and for me that is saying something).<br /><br />Finally, a number of personal items is taking my attention at home. &nbsp;I can't get into these but suffice to say I've been distracted by a variety of things that need attending to. &nbsp;So what might have been left for blogging after a hectic work day has been replaced with video editing which requires minimal input.<br /><br />Sorry for the pity party. &nbsp;But I did want to let the few readers know that I haven't forgotten this blog. &nbsp;It's just that several things are in play and my attention has been elsewhere. <br /><br />Having said that I do have some new ideas that I would like to incorporate into this blog. &nbsp;But I will save that for another post.

If we speak in Church, we’re told it’s too political; if we speak in the political arena, we’re told it’s too religious. If we speak in the media we’re told it’s too disturbing; in the educational realm, it’s too disruptive. On the public streets, it’s too distressing for children; in the business world it’s too controversial, in the family it’s too divisive, and in social settings it’s just impolite. So if abortion is wrong, where do we go to say so?</span></blockquote><br /><a href="http://www.lifenews.com/2011/03/15/are-we-willing-to-suffer-the-consequences-of-being-pro-life/">LifeNews&nbsp;</a>CatholicGuyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09129339825000536287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3892857592788649371.post-22506301668010834022013-02-26T11:55:00.001-08:002013-02-26T11:55:28.515-08:00Choose your Pope!H/T Mark Shea <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/CrzfbbgJu8M" width="560"></iframe>CatholicGuyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09129339825000536287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3892857592788649371.post-59906883959301747652013-02-23T11:02:00.001-08:002013-02-23T11:02:09.819-08:00Survivor: Terraria Part 7<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Bw3W2Y5saeY" width="560"></iframe>CatholicGuyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09129339825000536287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3892857592788649371.post-61661087071709025072013-02-19T15:50:00.003-08:002013-02-19T15:50:50.359-08:00Survivor: Terraria Part 6<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pZoruTWzvAo" width="560"></iframe>CatholicGuyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09129339825000536287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3892857592788649371.post-12779376902107459132013-02-19T15:50:00.000-08:002013-02-19T15:50:03.621-08:00Survivor: Terraria Part 5<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/86og9MpUJDs" width="560"></iframe>CatholicGuyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09129339825000536287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3892857592788649371.post-69591362555601664592013-02-19T15:49:00.000-08:002013-02-19T15:49:16.223-08:00About postingThank you for your patience. &nbsp;I have actually been busy at work so posting has been at a minimum. &nbsp;Also you may have noticed the Terraria postings. &nbsp;Video editing has been tons of fun. <br /><br />The Dominican Prayer sessions are still going but very sporadic. &nbsp;I'm attempting to get back to it when I get a few days in a row under my belt.<br /><br />Finally Lenten video game withdraw is going well save for a moment of weakness on Sunday (feast day, doesn't count). &nbsp;So far only the co-op play is active about once a week. &nbsp;Otherwise I've been faithful.<br /><br />I'll have something more to post after this week. &nbsp;I'm in training until Friday so most likely only videos will go up. &nbsp;Sorry.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />The ManagementCatholicGuyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09129339825000536287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3892857592788649371.post-85770724273891209472013-02-15T09:26:00.002-08:002013-02-18T06:24:02.022-08:00Survivor: Terraria Part 4<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/LlBWEUswu2U" width="560"></iframe>CatholicGuyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09129339825000536287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3892857592788649371.post-68099365546497782212013-02-15T09:25:00.002-08:002013-02-15T09:25:46.152-08:00Survivor: Terraria Part 3<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/A2ANIihuArI" width="560"></iframe>CatholicGuyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09129339825000536287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3892857592788649371.post-65897675902431542542013-02-11T19:03:00.001-08:002013-02-11T19:03:11.579-08:00Dominican Prayer Day 23<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">So after a hiatus I have returned to this project of the Nine Ways. &nbsp;Apparently even after my mini-breakthrough the frustration of the Third Way has sapped my will to continue.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">It doesn't help that the Fourth Way is long. &nbsp;The first three ways can be done in about 15 minutes or so. &nbsp;It takes that much time to do the Fourth Way.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I do like the way though. &nbsp;During the genuflections I feel like I can concentrate somewhat on the individual stations. &nbsp;My mind is more focused (a relative term here, be gentle) as I do the stations.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">It also helps to start with the First Way to prepare the mind. &nbsp;The book mentions that St. Dominic would use the First Way as a preparation for the other ways. &nbsp;I now do the same.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">All in all this promises to be a good start again despite the delay. &nbsp;Even the smallest time used makes it easier to pray and stay peaceful. &nbsp;I’ll confess I've had some difficulty with that.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white;
